U.K. Cuties, what do you use when Pellon is required, I have been buying from Dunelm, I think they call it wadding, but it keeps catching on the needle & foot, Thanks for any help, Jean xx

Are you using it directly under the needle?. If so place a tear away or clear see through was away over what you are stitching and remove when finished stitching that part.

Yes, directly under the needle, thanks for the tip, Jean xx

For most ITH items I use either Bump curtain interlining (a non-woven felt like fabric) or fleece (Ikea blankets from the sale).

Great, thanks Sue, I have a few fleece blankets from ikea, never thought about using them, I use them for making the dogs toys. Jean xx

Mainly in the hoop, coasters, placemats, I've looked on eBay, lots of them are iron on, I call it batting/ wadding, no sure if that's the right name, thanks.
